Electric Vehicle Kitset


NOTICE: PROJECT IS BACK ON HOLD
I have moved to Golden, Colorado in the USA and had to sell the parts purchased for the project. The Motor, batteries and drive electronics were sold to someone who was working with some others to make a small electric vehicle.

I will start back on the project once I have settled in and set up my workshop again... May start with a small scale version of the No 178 Christchurch Tram or a ride on garden electric train for my son.

OLD info below.
Welcome to the development of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
This project will concentrate on making a space frame Hybrid Electric vehicle not intended for road use, but for testing and fun.
It may also end up as a large remote control vehicle with the possibility of becoming a fully Autonomous robot for a New Zealand equivalent to the DARPA challenge, when one exists.


Concepts and Ideas

Following is a list of the concepts and thoughts so far...
  • Parallel Hybrid drive
  • Simple motor control
  • Regenerative breaking
  • Linux based Motor Monitoring, GPS, Entertainment, etc
  • Most importantly - FUN

    Whats Happening

    This list is what I will be working on soon...
  • Designing two seater space frame
  • Collecing parts needed to make the space frame etc
